I can go from unpacking the telescope from the boot of my car to having it all setup and viewing my first nebula of the night in 15 minutes. I haven't done any drive training but it can still nearly centre most objects easily.

Agree on the accuracy and very quick setup for the Meade :-)
However, unless all of your optical gear is already acclimatised I don't see how you can be looking at any quality views in just 15 minutes on any 10 inch SCT even with good fans ??
